Climate change: Greenland melting tied to shrinking Arctic sea ice
2016-03-28 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger and more frequent “blocking-high” pressure systems, which spin clo…

Science Codex: Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger and more frequent "blocking-high" pressure systems, which spin clockwise, stay largely in place and can block cold,...

The government just proposed a sea change to American diets - and it's scary news for Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Dr. Pepper This week, the USDA released a major report on guidelines for healthy eating that completely contradicts how most Americans eat. One of the biggest changes is strict limits on the amount of sugar Americans consume every day.

Climate change is altering Greenland ice sheet, accelerating sea level rise
2016-01-04 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The Greenland ice sheet has traditionally been pictured as a bit of a sponge for glacier meltwater, but new research has found it is rapidly losing the ability to buffer its contribution to rising sea levels, says a York University researcher. York U Professor William Colgan, a co-author on the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, helped analyse data from three expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The research was done in conjunction with lead researcher...
Rising waters prompt Chinas sea change on climate

Globe and Mail: At Pleasant Banyan Bay in China's southern Guangdong province, couples flock by the dozens for elaborately staged wedding photos on the white sand. Large signs on a nearby hotel shout, "Forever." But the love on display here might outlast the sand. A rising sea has narrowed the main beach by 10 metres and scoured around trees, exposing their roots. Smaller beaches on the fringes of the bay have already vanished. "I know the glaciers and the poles are melting and that's why the water is rising,"...
